That's a direct quote of Sun Tzu's, is it not?
The Art of War isn't just about physical conflict on a national level; its lessons can be applied to any conflict, of any size or nature.
For example, one of the principles Sun Tzu espouses, is to never fully envelope an enemy army. If you completely surround them, they are going to be more likely to realize "Fuck, we've got nowhere to run... FIGHT AS HARD AS YOU CAN, MEN! Maybe we can cut our way through the enemy and flee!" This means a longer fight, which means more deaths and injuries on both sides- everyone loses. But instead of surrounding them entirely, let's say you leave their left flank exposed, with a nice open field in that direction. As each unit/individual begins to realize what is happening, that they are beset from 3 sides, that open plain will begin to look very inviting... and they'll be more likely to decide "Fuck fighting, c'mon boys, let's get out of here while we still can!" Similarly, treating prisoners (and accepting surrenders without brutality) is extremely important- if your enemy knows that you flay prisoners alive, they will resist you with utmost ferocity, TO THE DEATH. This means more fighting, more of your men lost, more time spent- everyone loses. If they instead know that, as a prisoner, they might get beaten up a bit and be hungry, put to work, but otherwise won't be abused... surrendering becomes much more appealing than "Trying not to get stabbed/shot".
So how to apply these concepts to, say, an argument with someone? Well, a full envelopment would be... like an ultimatum. You give a person an ultimatum, and they'll either dig in and resist, or they'll concede. It's better to let the person feel like they have more control over the situation, so if you present the ultimatum in a way that doesn't seem like an ultimatum, they're more likely to accept- and you win.
You got any good examples of concepts like this that can be used on smaller levels than straight up warfare?

Something like that, yeah. I think so. It's funny you ask about similar ideas like what you'd explained. I actually think that's what we're witnessing. Again, if you read the newest post I made in RealWhatever, we're sort of waiting for the exact thing you've mentioned to unfold. In fact, the "exits" have already been cut off this time. Have you noticed a lot of peculiar seismic activity happening over the last five or six years? They're being lulled in to a false sense of security, thinking there's an escape route. Few of them seem to have caught on about the lack of one, but we just have to let enough of them think they can still get out of it. Apparently, way too many people aren't buying the plandemic.
As for more local ideas, that's tough. Maybe go to school board meetings and pretend to have no strange ideas, slowly organizing out of the board's view and take the same approach with churches. What's most important is being a harmless homeschooler with the modest inability to afford public schooling because, "darn it, I just live too far away to lug the rug rats to school every day."
The obvious solution, of course, is to just pretend Biden doesn't exist on a national level since he may as well be naked at this point.
